if you got caught with a couple ounces, they didn't care, if it was a couple hundred pounds, the Fed would be on the case.

Agreed here. So with that same logic, I would think making one silencer for your bolt action rodent rifle to use on your own property won't get you in trouble with the feds. But if you make multiple, use them openly in public ranges and especially if you sell them...that could get you some federal attention.
I do know that the federal govt does not have the manpower or time to go after everybody. They need state enforcement to help. If your state (Montana in this case) won't help them, your chances of being caught/tried/prosecuted are much lower.
